From: Lee Wcishur, Ph.D.; PWS
Re: Potential Shoreline Mitigation Solutions
dUL - 2011
Southhold lowe
Board of Trustees
The following memorandum provides a review of potential options fur protecting your coastal
bank and ultimately your house.
Back~round
The Woods Hole group has made several site visits to thc Fishers Island property over the past
three years. As you know, the bank is extremely high and is composed of loess (timed grained
sediment) that allows thc bank face to remain near vertical. Additionally, the loess slows the
erosion of the bank face because it is cohesive. However, when the bank face erodes, large
sections cleave out of the bank face. This situation has provided a false sense of security at the
propetx3, for many years. The erosion of the bank face has continued to deteriorate to the point
where your options are severely limited. Our engineering staffhas met at least 6 times over the
past 45 days looking at potential solutions to help protect your house. I will be very candid in
that your options are limited from both an engineering and permitting perspective. The face of
the coastal bank will continue to relreat and/or layback to obtain an angle of repose. Placing an
cngincel=mg sll'ucture at the base of the bank will slow but not eliminate this process. Any
potential mitigation option will require obtaining a balance between securing sufficient room on
the beach to construct the engineering structure and having thc toe or ba~ of tho sffuctum far
enough away from the bank so that the bank face can be reinforced to slow down erosion at the
top of the bank.
Potential Mitigation Options
After meeting extensively on this problem, we have developed three potential mitigation options
that may be: considered to slow the erosion of the bank and extend the time you and your family
will have use of the house.
Option 1 - Leave thc house in nlace and construct a sloping rock revetment
This option would leave the house in place and construct a sloping rock revetment on the face of
the bank. This option would move thc toe of thc structure approximately 40 to 60 feet seaward
of the existing bank face. The fill would extend on an approximate slope of IH to IV extending
from the toe of thc structure to near the top.
The area between thc structure and the bank would be filled with sand and sediment to reinforce
the bank face. This option will occupy a large section of the high tide beach and potentially
oeoupy some of the intertidal beach (Figure 1). There are several concerns with developing this
option.
Figure 1 This figure shows and approximate location of the revetment toe. Note that this is
a 2007 ortbophotograpb from NYGIS
First, constructing a stmctore seaward of the existing bank toe will subject the rcveUne~t to
larger waves and will require larger rock and a more substantial structure. Second, permitting
this option will be a challenge because under normal circumstance reclaiming upland from the
beach and intertidal area is not allowed by the permitting agencies.
Option 2 - Consh'uct a vertical seawall and move the house
This option would construct a vertical seawall. The toe of the structure would be seaward of the
bank toe but landward of Option 1. The house would be moved to implement this option. The
ve~ical wall would be constructed to protect the toe of the bank and to reduce the slope of the
bank. The bank slope is reduced because the bank would be graded from the top of the vertical
slructore. This will effectively reduce the amount of area that will be lost at the top of the bank
as a result of project construction. The disadvantage of this option is that fwst, the structure will
be constructed seaward of the existing toe of the bank. S~cond, the bank slope will still be
subjected to erosion from severe or storms of record. Third, the vertical wall most will likely not
be above the 100 ft storm surge elevation.
Option 3 - Construct a vertical seawall along the toe of the bank and leave the house in place
This option would construct a vertical seawall along the toe of the existing bank and leave the
upper reaches of the bank face intact. Additionally the house would not be moved. This option
has several disadvantageous. First, the vertical wall will be difficult to construct due to the
boulders on the beach. The metal sheeting may have to be vibrated or pounded into the
substrate. This will most likely result in some slumping oftbe bank due to constructing the wall.
This could result in loss of additional upland between the house and the top of the bank. Second,
this option still leaves the face of the bank exposed to severe storms and/or storms of record
when the vertical structure is over topped. Third, the top of the bank will not be reinfomed and
will still have a tendency to erode. While the vertical wall will lessen or slow the erosion will
still be present.
Conclusion
None of the three options presented above will eliminate the potential of bank erosion. There
remains a possibility of losing the house as the result of severe storm even if it is moved. The
simple fact is the house is vulnerable and the ability of the loess to slow down the erosion of the
bank face has exacerbated the problem by providing a false sense of security. We will be happy
to discuss the potential solutions with you and InterScience after you have had a chance to read
this letter and discuss it with your family.

RE: Erosion Evaluation at Fishers Island Property
Dear Mr. Boswell,
July I l, 2007
dUL - 7 2011
'fowa
Board o! Trustees
~i?hOdS .H.ole .Gr.o. up is. pi.eased to present the findings of the site evaluation performed for your
ers lslanu, r4ew ¥orlc property. Per your requ~.st, Woods Hole Group has evaluated the
condition of the coastal bank and b.each on the subject property in terms of the existin.g and
future potential for erosion. ^ site visit was performed on June 8, 2007 to evaluate the extsling
geologic conditions, including type and extent of resources such as beach and coastal bank,
,sedim. ent ch~aractaristics, and evidence for erosion of the coastal bank. The following letter is
oaseo on imormation gathered d.u. ring the site visit, as well as review of aerial photographs, and
NY Department of Conservation (DEC) regulations that govern work n the coastal
environment. While the detailed findings are .d.¢scribed below, based on our experience the
problem is severe and requires immediate attention. We.have therefore presented alternatives
for mitigating the impacts of erosion, and addressed possible steps that could be taken to slow
this erosion.
I. Site Observations and Background Information
The subject property is located along thc southeast facing shoreline of Fishers Island and is
directly exposed to the open waters of Block Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean further to thc
south. The geologic deposits that make up Fishers Island were deposited as glacial moraines, or
long ridges of clay, sand, gravel, and boulders that were deposited at the leading edge of the
continental glaciers. The property is located on a high coastal bluffthat reaches elevations of S0
R above mean sea level. The bluff stretches for some 0.8 miles to the west along the area
known as Isabella Beach. To the east, the blufftapers down in elevation Io the Iow lying barrier
beach that separates Island Pond from the Sound (Figure I). Many areas of the coastal bluff
show signs of erosion, including the area directly in front &the existing house (Figure 2). The
bluff is devoid of vegetation, suggesting recent and continued erosion, and is extremely steep in
many places with slopes greater than the angle of repose (Figures 3-4). Sediments that
comprise the bluffare a mixture of very fine grained sand, silt, gravel, and cobbles. The beach
in front of the bank is relatively narrow at 40 to 50 fi wide, and is composed of poorly sorted
cobbles, boulders, gravel, and sand.

long section of eroding coastal bluff.

western end of subject property.
-3-
'The bluff~t your house shows signs of erosion caused primarily from wave attack along the base
during storms and periods ofelevatad water level. This type of erosion is typical along many of
the unprotected coastal bluffs in Long Island and Block Island Sounds. During storms, waves
scour away and undermine the seaward toe (base) of the bluff, which leads to instabilily and
slumping within the upper portions of the bank. Due to the cohesive nature of beak sedimanls,
erosion and slumping (sloughing off) typically occurs as mass failure, where large quantities
slump and fall from the bank in a massive event. Because of this, coastal bluffs tend 10 erode
episodically, holding stable for a number of years until erosion at the toe is great enough to cause
mass failure and large scale collapse along the top of the bluff. This mechanism of erosion can
be seen along portions of the subject property, where large chunks of the upper bank have
collapsed and fallen onto the lower bank. This type of mass failure is most common in areas
where the bank is overstecpened, as is yours along the western end of the subject property.
The most recent aerial photographs of the site, available for download from the NY GIS
Clearinghouse, were collected in 2004 (Figure 5). These photographs show the existing house,
lawn, coastal bluff, and beach areas at the time of the over flight. Measurements made from the
photographs indicate set backs between the house and top of bluffthat range from 10 1o 22 fi.
Also evident in the photos are two large erosional scarps in the bluff, one on the subject
property, and a second on the adjacent property to the west. Observations made during the June
2007 site visit, and illustrated in Figures 2-4, indicate that both of these erosional scarps have
increased in size significantly. In the absence of more recent aerial photography from 2007 to
quantify the extent of erosion, the observations and ground photographs taken during the site
visit were used to approximate areas of the bluff currently affected by erosional scarping
(Figure 5). Of greatest concern, but certainly not the only immediate concern, is the 180 fl long
portion of the bluff along thc southwestern end of the property, where the erosional scarp is
within 12 to 15 feet of the house, and is extremely steep (Figure 4). Continued erosion in this
and other areas of the bluff will undoubtedly occur, as the landform is oversteepened, lacks
stabilizing vegetation, and contains no defense along the toe to protect from further wave
activity and erosion. While it is difficult to predict a rate of bluff erosion usine the available
data. it is certain that future erosion will threaten the safety of the existine house.
The spectra of erosion control options for protection and stabilization of coastal bluffs ranges
from the simple alternative of "doing nothing", to hard measures such as revetments and
bulkheads. Between these two endpoints is a range of options that include house relocations,
plantings, bank terracing, and other methods of toe protection. Descriptions of four potential
alternatives that may be suited to the subject property are provided below. The alternatives have
been selected based on our experience with projects of this type, knowledge of the local coastal
processes, and familiarity with the state and local environmental regulations.
Do Nothing - This alternative involves no action on your part, allowing storm waves and
water levels to continue eroding thc bluff. By selecting this alternative you are accepting
the inevitable future event of the house falling into thc ocean, as well as the associated
clean-up costs which would be significant.
-4-
~ - One alternative that would reduce the risk of damage to the house
would be to move it further landward, away from the coastal bluff edge. From a
practical standpoint, Woods Hole Group cannot offer advice on thc feasibility of moving
the house; however, the benefits of relocating further from the bluff edge would be
significant. We recommend that this approach be investigated further with a company
that specializes in house moving, to determine feasibility and cost. In lhe event thal an
alternate means of protecting the house is selected, especially one that involves a hard
coastal engineering structure along the bank, the information learned about feasibility
and cost associated with moving the house will be required by the regulatory officials as
part of thc permit review process.
Figure 5. Aerial photograph from 2004 showing proximity of house to coastal bluff and
approximate extent of erosion in 2007.
Bank Tcrracine and Plantinff - Restoration of the coastal bluff using soft engineering
methods such as terracing and planting would minimize the impacts of on-going erosion,
although periodic maintenance would be required to correct storm-induced erosion.
Terracing of the bank using a combination of landscape struotures (ex., wooden retaining
walls) and plants would minimize the potential for large scale failure as the upper
-:5-
portions of the bluff would be retained and stabilized with vegetation. Planting alone
without adding some sort of toe protection along the base of the bluff would provide little
protection, and is thus not advisable. A program of bank terracing and planting would
only be successful with a design that includes protection from erosion along the toe of the
bluff. A small hard structure that includes stones or driven sheet pile would provide the
greatest measure of protection; however, other sorer solutions could also be investigated.
Planning level costs associated with construction of a bank terracing and planting
alternative would likely range between $1,000 and $1,500 per linear foot, depending on
the type of toe protection selected. For the 180 ft section of bluffat the western end of
the property that is most critically eroded, this alternative would likely cost between
$180,000 and $270,000. To protect the entire subject property (an approximate distance
of 320 fi), construction costs are estimated to be $320,000 to $480,000. Either of these
options would span two properties and the cost could be split accordingly.
Stone Revetment - Installation of a stone revetment would provide the longest lasting
and most permanent erosion control solution for the upland portions of the property. A
stone revetment is a coastal engineering structure designed and constructed for a sloping
bluff to protect against erosion caused by waves and/or currents. The rough surface
created by a revetment creates more resistance to storm waves than the natural blufffaee,
decreasing the energy of the wave more quickly and preventing erosion along the toe of
the bluff. Important design eonsideratlons include providing appropriate height, width,
and toe protection. A revetment at the subject property would need to be high enough to
prevent overtopping by storm waves. To prevent flanking erosion at the ends of the
structure, the revetment would need to be designed to tieback or return into the bluff.
Costs for revetment construction would likely range from $1,500 to $2,000 per linear
foot. Assuming a structure approximately 300 fi long, it would cost between $450,000
and $600,000 to build a revetment on the subject property. Additional expenses required
for engineering and permitting are typically 10 to 15% of the construction costs. The
work in this area would actually span two properties, and as such the construction costs
could be split accordingly. The NY Department of Consereation regulations do not
prohibit hard coastal engineering structure like revetments; however, they are generally
considered only as a last resort and therefore the permitting may be lengthy. Although
this option represents the most costly alternative, it provides the most permanenl and
longest lasting form of protection.

MEMORANDUM
To: Jill goherty, President
Town of Southold Board of Trustees
From: Mark Terry, Principal Planner
LWRP Coordinator
Date: August 24, 2011
Re:
Proposed Wetland Permit for WILLIAM L. BOSWELL & OTHERS
SCTM#1000-11-1-12
Patricia C. Moore, Esq. on behalf of WILLIAM L. BOSWELL & OTHERS requests a Wetland Permit to
relocate existing dwelling from 8' to 46' from the top of the bluff; install drywells; abandon and install
new sanitary system; and install new gravel driveway and parking area. Located: Old Mallory Rd.,
Fishers Island. SCTM#11-1-12
A site inspection was made on August 10, 2011. The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter
268, Waterfront Consistency Review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront
Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP
Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records available to me, it
is my recommendation that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with the denoted following Policy
Standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP.
Policy Standards
4. 1 Minimize losses of human life and structures from flooding and erosion hazards.
The following management measures to minimize losses of human life and structures from
flooding and erosion hazards are suggested:
A. Minimize potential loss and damage by locating development and structures away from
flooding and erosion hazards.
Move existing development and structures as far away from flooding and erosion
hazards as practical.
The structure is located landward of the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area (Figure 1).
The relocation would maximize the distance from the "hazard area" and minimize
the potential of future structural loss to the greatest extent practicable.
Figure 1. Subject parcel with Coastal Erosion Hazard Line shown in red.
In the event that the action is approved and to further Policies 4.2 Protect and Restore Natural
Protective Features and Policy 5: Protect and Improve Water Quality in the Town of Southold; the
following Best Management Practices are recommended to address the increase in bluff erosion.
Require that the applicant submit a re-vegetation plan for the face of the bluff void of
vegetation outlining species type, density and survivorship parameters. Due to the slope
of the bluff face, terracing to stabilize the soils could be applied. (See figures 2 and 3).
2. Require subsurface drainage structures to be located landward of the relocated structure
to the greatest extent practicable.
Figure 2. Subject parcel showing bluff area and extent of erosion (2006).
Figure 3. S~ ibject parcel showing an increase of erosion in the the (2010).
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its
written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

LWRP CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT FORM
A. INSTRUCTIONS
All applicants for permits* including Town of Southold agencies, shall complete this CCAF for
proposed actions that are subject to the Town of Southold Waterfront Consistency Review Law.
This assessment is intended to supplement other information used by a Town of Southold agency
in making a determination of consistency. *Except minor exempt actions including Building
Permits and other ministerial permits not located within the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area.
Before answering the questions in Section C, the preparer of this form should review the exempt
minor action list, policies and explanations of each policy contained in the Town of Southold
Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. A proposed action will be evaluated as to its significant
beneficial and adverse effects upon the coastal area (which includes all of Southold Town).
If any question in Section C on this form is answered "yes", then the proposed action may affect
the achievement of the LWRP policy standards and conditions contained in the consistency review
law. Thus, the action should be analyzed in more detail and, if necessary, modified prior to making
a determination that it is consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the LWRP policy
standards and conditions. If an action cannot be certified as consistent with the LWRP policy
standards and conditions, it shall not be undertaken.
A copy of the LWRP is available in the following places: online at the Town of Southold's website
